"The property is well kept and has very nice view, a calm and quiet place."
The cottage owners are very kind, helped us navigating to the property from canworthy waters. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and if we are lucky we will revisit this place again.

"We had a lovely stay in Barn Owl Cottage."
Ann was so welcoming during our stay. The Cottage is clean and comfortable with everything you need. Lovely to have the weather in April to sit in the garden!
Thank you and we will return soon.

"I’m not going give a rave review about how fantastic our stay was, it’s already been said in prior reviews and I totally agree."
The owners live on site and they were helpful, friendly, and everything was as, and better than, we expected.
Instead I’m going to post a very useful bit of advice. Despite all attempts to get TomTom to guide me here it failed miserably. So, my advice is once you’re near your destination use what3words to pinpoint your cottage to within a metre or two. What3words is a mobile App that’s accurate to a 3m square. Of course you can use it for the entire journey, whatever you prefer.
You will be able to view the three words in Directions prior to your arrival, and you will be guided to your front door.
Enjoy your holiday. We did.
FOR SYKES PROPLE ADD THIS TO DIRECTIONS
For either cottage (Barn Owl or Swallows Nest) use “shed.self.exotic”

"We had a great time in Barn Owl cottage."
The space and facility are brilliant. More than what we had expected! Love the airy lounge! Anne and Gerry were great hosts. We arrived late at night and couldn’t find the property. Anne was on the phone giving us directions and Gerry walked half way down a long lane to meet us. Absolutely appreciate their hospitality. We’ll highly recommend the property to our friends. If we are back in the area, we would love to stay in the property again.

"We really enjoyed our week at Barn Owl Cottage."
It is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Having two bedrooms with en-suites helps make this a great place for two couples to share. Anne, the owner, is very friendly and we felt most welcome. Thanks for a lovely stay, Mike and Elaine.

"Hi!
The house and the owners were absolutely lovely."
We had a great holiday and made some fantastic memories. The house was clean, had all the amenities we needed (highchair, cotbed, bathtub AND wetroom, and even a playarea!) and was in a quiet village location near a farm with lots of sheep and very cute lambs.
The only things I'd like to add are:
- The house is 'upside down' in the sense that the bedrooms are downstairs, and kitchen etc are upstairs. This means that you spend most of your time upstairs - we have a toddler and the stairs are quite steep so that was a problem. Luckily the owner asked us if we wanted a stairgate and that solved the problem!
- In the confirmation email we were told that you have to ring the owner 24hrs prior to arrival for Key collection details. I rang the owner lots of times but didn't manage to get hold of them, and Sykes just told me to keep trying which wasn't too helpful. We got really worried about not being able to get keys, especially as the house is in a tiny village, it would have been a long drive for nothing if we couldn't get the keys! As it turned out, the owners live right next door so I wouldn't have needed to chase them. If the Sykes staff had been aware they could have just told us and we would have saved ourselves a lot of worrying.
